Lilītu


The hybrid film Lilītu tells a fictional story of the artist Jón Ragnarsson and documents in an unobtrusive way the Change of Vatnajökull and the consequences of climate change. Jón Ragnarsson lives independently on Vatnajökull, the largest Europe's glaciers, completely cut off from civilization. Inspired of glacier movement, gloomy atmosphere and its sound, he paints pictures with its help, by tracing the structure of ice. As Jón one day, looking for new motifs, finds a permafrost corpse in a crevasse, he gets into a conflict of conscience. Should he report the found body and risk a large-scale archeological excavation on the glacier? Driven by loneliness, questionable emotional relationship with the corpse and his manichaean state of mind Jón keeps the corpse until he has completely processed it in his art and sunk it in the water glacier.
